Printing AutoCorrect Entries

Word provides a way to print just about everything related to your document, except (oddly enough) your AutoCorrect entries. If you want to print them, you are forced to use a macro to accomplish the task. The following macro will create a document, list all the AutoCorrect entries, and format it:

Sorry, but this doesn't work well. All text containing rich text is losing all formatting and all special characters are incorrectly represented

Wow...thank you so very much. I was using a pen and paper to write down the short cuts and them putting them in word to print. UGH. I really appreciate your help. OH...if I have diagram images that are in a word library...how can I ensure that all of them are the same size? I copy and paste them into home inspection reports. I do the right click and look at the sizing but some of them are still different even if I change the height and width. I dont know much more thant the basics. Maybe some of the images are not the same type of file extension to begin with. I dont know. Many thanks!!

Dear Mr. Wyatt,

This tip was exactly what I was looking for - many thanks!!

However, I am working in Germany and my computer has both a German AutoCorrect list and an English one. When I apply your macro, I get the list of the German entries.

How can I adapt the macro so that the English list is printed instead? Most grateful for any help you can give!
